I’m a multi tour combat wounded veteran , calling out people for not waving a flag is as bogus as a used car dealer showing what a patriot he is with a 100 flags on the lot, I don’t wear a hat or a t shirt with my veterans I D on but if it makes people happy that’s fine . I put a couple of flags out for all the holidays but I don’t have a flag pole my choice. I didn’t need a parade or a pat on the back and the only people I sought respect from were the guys who fought with me ,because there RESPECT WAS ALL THAT MATTERED getting it from strangers may make you feel good but I could care less FYI I go the day before Veterans Day to cemetery and put some flowers on a vets grave , I don’t need to be in some photo op and just like praying in private many of us are maybe more private in our patriotism OUR CHOICE
